With the move of Giant Tiger to Elgin Mall on the horizon, the grocery store that’s set to move into the 780 Talbot St. site still hasn’t been announced.

Building owner George Gilvesy said everything is moving along with the tenant currently working with the city to get everything in order.

“We’re still moving forward in the site planning process. Our tenant is actually working with the city right now and moving towards getting a site plan established on the property,” Gilvesy said.

Gilvesy said he couldn’t reveal a timeline as to when the new store would open or when it would be revealed exactly what chain would be moving in.

“That’s a function of the tenant themselves and when I can release the name I will do so but as of right now I’m not able to,” Gilvesy said.

Gyulveszi Holdings Inc. has owned the building since 1979. Since that time the building has had multiple tenants, including a grocery store.

Council approved in June the company’s application for an official plan and zoning by-law amendment that would permit a grocery store on the property. As a part of the application Gyulveszi Holdings Inc. was required to have a market study done. The results showed St. Thomas could support another grocery store, more specifically in the downtown core. It revealed there would be little impact on the existing grocery stores would be minimal.

Giant Tiger announced in August that it wouldn’t be renewing its lease at the Talbot Street location, but would be moving the Elgin Mall, specifically the old Zellers location that has over 23,000 square feet of retail space. The grand opening is set for April 14.
